I am a PhD researcher and my interest is the relation between linguistic form and meaning. I use the phenomenon 'ellipsis' as a tool to explore language comprehension. Ellipsis is an omnipresent phenomenon in natural language and is characterized by unrealized or redundant linguistic material which, although it is absent, can be interpreted. Making use of behavioral and electrophysiological techniques I investigate neurocognitive processes that are involved during the interpretation of elided structures.
